| in a silent way |
someone else's medicine leaking out of the corners of my mouth the taste of almonds and burning bread no scent, but the vaguest of feelings that all is not as it should be i'll peel back my skull with the teeth you have given me and find nobody home this is not my tale to tell it's better left in the hands of another unafraid to desecrate all i hold dear in an effort to wrestle meaning from that which resists meaning anything parse blood from the throat of a bloodless twist of fate given something to read and so something to say i hope the voice is strong and clear without tipping over without growing arrogant a voice that will sit with you in the dark and cradle you gently and rock you to sleep with its effortless enunciation kissing the words i have placed on its gossamer lips so delicately and i hope this ending leaves you feeling cheated with no one to curl up next to just you and your deepest disappointments alone in the dark |
